"The compromise will always be more expensive than either of the suggestions it is compromising."

Arthur Bloch

"It is the weak man who urges compromise--never the strong man."

Elbert Hubbard

"Real life is, to most men, a long second-best, a perpetual compromise between the ideal and the possible but the world of pure reason knows no compromise, no practical limitations, no barrier to the creative activity."

Bertrand Russell

"All government, indeed every human benefit and enjoyment, every virtue, and every prudent act, is founded on compromise and barter."

Edmund Burke

"Compromise used to mean that half a loaf was better than no bread. Among modern statesmen it really seems to mean that half a loaf is better than a whole loaf."

G K Chesterton

"If you are not very clever, you should be conciliatory."

Benjamin Disraeli

"The 'morality of compromise' sounds contradictory. Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat. Strong men don't compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised."

Andrew Carnegie

"Virtue knows that it is impossible to get on without compromise, and tunes herself, as it were, a trifle sharp to allow for an inevitable fall in playing."

Samuel Butler

"Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. As a peacemaker the lawyer has superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough."
